By chance, On Aisaka Mountain The fields of arrowroot are Still so young— O, do not end up despising them!

In reply.

夏山の下はふくずのうらわかみまだきに露の心おくらん

natsuyama no shita hau kuzu no urawakami madaki ni tsuyu no kokoro okuran

On the summer mountains The arrowroot, creeping beneath, Seems so young that Swiftly will the dewdrops Fall upon its heart.
